>Sorry if I came across as a Goody Two Shoes. The same was true where I went to college. What I responded to was the tone of "Thank goodness those nice innocent boys have been exonerated." (And now their careers on Wall Street are safe). They weren't innocent.

Yeah, I know they were innocent. They did get screwed over though, and lost their scholarships and probably made the rest of their lives a little harder.

However, when I think back on some of the wild things I used to do, and think about how I grew out of it, I can't help to put myself in their shoes. What would have happened if I lost my financial means to college because of some false accusations? What would have happened if I had my face plastered all over the TV for something horrible like this that I did not do?

Just because they weren't innocent in college doesn't mean they would not have matured into good, successful people.

I'm not trying to get on a soapbox or anything, but I just keep putting myself in their shoes and I get really angry about what happened to them.
